I have owned several BMW's (1977 320i, 1987 325i, 1991 M3). I really love the older models but was very dissapointed in the E36 models. I drive a 1998 V70 T5 with a 5 speed now (140,000).

No major repairs. I do change the oil, filters, plugs, cap, etc... often. I drive about 700 miles a week.

It was funny to read the comment about the BMW owners being anal about wax, polish, etc... I'm still that way with my Volvo!

Also, just picked up a 1999 V70 T5 and am very happy with it.

The one thing that was tough getting used to with the Volvo was the FWD. I think my T5 would be more fun to drive if it were RWD, but hey I live in Massachusetts!


Good Luck!
Noah
